Benefits of technology

The present invention provides an electronic device that allows users to conveniently play music by displaying musical scores and controlling them with a foot-actuated accessory. The device can wirelessly upload music scores or connect to a secondary electronic device to transfer them. Users can select and play music from the displayed scores without needing to act on it, and the device will automatically advance the score if musical notes are being played.

Problems solved by technology

Sheet music can be difficult to properly secure in place and requires the use of a special stand or holder.
Furthermore, musicians are forced to temporarily take their hands off of their instruments in order to turn the pages of the sheet music.
This can interrupt the flow of the song the musician is playing and negatively impact the musician's performance.
